摘要
We investigate the applicability of polymer-ionic liquid composites as optical elements for light, as well as for slow neutrons. The gratings are recorded using two-beam mixing and are characterized experimentally based on their diffraction properties. We produced a set of samples differing in their thickness, ranging from 10 mu m-100 mu m. We demonstrate that it is possible to prepare transmission gratings with a lattice constant of Lambda = 480 nm, resulting in thick gratings for light, as well as neutrons. The presented samples show low optical losses in the Vis-UV spectrum and exhibit refractive index modulations of about 10(-3) at lambda = 543 nm. However, further improvements have to be made to obtain efficient neutron optical components.
